Binge eating?

While I've never been diagnosed with compulsive or binge eating disorders, I am pretty sure that's what I have. When I sit down to eat, I just cannot seem to stop myself. I'll eat until I'm sick (I do not, however, purge). Even when I'm not hungry, like after a meal, I'll find myself eating again. It seems harder at night to control this.

Anyone have any tips to help stop myself from doing this?

    I have this problem too. I find what helps the most though is having fruit in the fridge so when I do end up binge eating I'll eat that (this way you can still eat and not worry about gaining weight!) Drinking a lot of water when you get the feeling to eat helps too since (assuming you start "craving" food) a craving only lasts up to 15 minutes. I hope this helps :/

    See a doctor who knows what they're talking about, and have someone look after you while you're eating to make sure you don't eat too much

    try to eat foods that fill well. this means lots of bread potatoes, rice or pasta. if you eat lots of fibers you will be less hungry the rest of the day.

    also make sure you eat full meals at regular times.

    a tip if you binge on crips, buy those hand out baggets for children (you know the ones with 20 smaller packages) open one eat it, and ont get another. this will break the usual 'automatic hand chew movement' you can have with a bigbag of crisps.
